 PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (AP) - The sobbing mother of a British girl kidnapped in Nigeria said Friday her 3-year-old is under threat of death and living on bread and water. Police promised to free the child without resorting to force.
Hostages in Nigeria's southern oil region have died only when security forces battled kidnappers, and the regional police commissioner said security forces would not use violence to free Margaret Hill.
"The use of force to free the British girl is ruled out, but we are doing our best to get her freed unharmed," said the commissioner, Felix Ogbaudu.
